Hate the idea of genetically modified food? This ought to make your head explode:

You're absolutely right. Any journal which would allow the writer(s) to start sentences with coordinating conjunctions should make any reader fit to be tied.

That whole Mini Nymph to Constant Nymph mutation thing did, however, catch my interest.
And now what?

Sounds like it's just a bunch of impatient souls who can't wait around for the stray cosmic ray to cause mutations.

But it also smacks of how Davros bred the Daleks in the Dr. Who saga . . . . :twisted:

Anyway, it's a completely different kettle of fish from taking already-fashioned genes from another species and shoving them into an organism. This is a lot "cleaner" and more "natural" than the "Frankenfood" GM that's usually fretted about by the squeamish.

Any sentence with the word 'nymph" in it will catch your attention GB. :P
Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'til he knows
That too many people have died?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
